I've got some great news for you, brain bosses...
Not all memory loss leads to Dementia!
Yes, as our body ages, our brain ages as well. Our brain functions at its peak in our 20s in terms of its speed and memory function. Beyond 30 years old, we slowly feel the speed or memory deteriorating; not with a significant difference, but just slightly and subtly.
Some of us may fear these poor memories being signs or symptoms of Dementia or other cognitive issues. Hold your horses! Some of us may have worried too early or unnecessarily.
Memory deterioration could suffice due to a few lifestyle influences and factors. Some of these include :
When is memory loss a cause for concern, then?
When one exhibits signs of inability to live independently. If someone can no longer do their shopping or cooking, reading (to some) or remember to take their medications, that's concerning and beyond the expectation for normal aging.
Then you might want to seek your physician's advise. During your visit at the physician's clinic, he / she will run several tests to further determine or rule out other causes of memory loss. These evaluations should result in a diagnosis. When the diagnosis is unclear your doctor may refer you to a neurologist or cognitive specialist for further testing and for care after / treatment after the diagnosis.
Having said that, please Don't leave our memory to chance! ??

Relax! Your mind is alright, I can't even remember as many things as her ??
